%'plot_field': plot any field with the structure defined in the uvmat package
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
%
%  This function is used by uvmat to plot fields. It automatically chooses the representation 
% appropriate to the input field structure: 
%     2D vector fields are represented by arrows, 2D scalar fields by grey scale images or contour plots, 1D fields are represented by usual plot with (abscissa, ordinate).
%  The input field structure is first tested by check_field_structure.m,
%  then split into blocks of related variables  by find_field_cells.m.
%  The dimensionality of each block is obtained  by this function
%  considering the presence of variables with the attribute .Role='coord_x'
%  and/or coord_y and/or coord_z (case of unstructured coordinates), or
%  dimension variables (case of matrices). 
%
% function [PlotType,PlotParamOut,haxes]= plot_field(Data,haxes,PlotParam,htext,PosColorbar)
%
% OUPUT:
% PlotType: type of plot: 'text','line'(curve plot),'plane':2D view,'volume'
% PlotParamOut: structure, representing the updated  plotting parameters, in case of automatic scaling
% haxes: handle of the plotting axis, when a new figure is created.
%
%INPUT
%    Data:   structure describing the field to plot 
%         (optional) .ListGlobalAttribute: cell listing the names of the global attributes
%                    .Att_1,Att_2... : values of the global attributes
%         (requested)  .ListVarName: list of variable names to select (cell array of  char strings {'VarName1', 'VarName2',...} ) 
%         (requested)  .VarDimName: list of dimension names for each element of .ListVarName (cell array of string cells)
%                      .VarAttribute: cell of attributes for each element of .ListVarName (cell array of structures of the form VarAtt.key=value)
%         (requested) .Var1, .Var2....: variables (Matlab arrays) with names listed in .ListVarName
%  
%            Variable attribute .Role :
%    The only variable attribute used for plotting purpose is .Role which can take
%    the values
%       Role = 'scalar':  (default) represents a scalar field
%            = 'coord_x', 'coord_y',  'coord_z': represents a separate set of
%                        unstructured coordinate x, y  or z
%            = 'vector': represents a vector field whose number of components
%                is given by the last dimension (called 'nb_dim')
%            = 'vector_x', 'vector_y', 'vector_z'  :represents the x, y or z  component of a vector  
%            = 'warnflag' : provides a warning flag about the quality of data in a 'Field', default=0, no warning
%            = 'errorflag': provides an error flag marking false data,
%                   default=0, no error. Different non zero values can represent different criteria of elimination.
%
%   haxes: handle of the plotting axes to update with the new plot. If this input is absent or not a valid axes handle, a new figure is created.
%
%   PlotParam: structure containing the parameters for plotting, as read on the uvmat or view_field GUI (by function 'read_GUI.m').
%      Contains three substructures:
%     .Coordinates: coordinate parameters:
%           .CheckFixLimits:=0 (default) adjust axes limit to the X,Y data, =1: preserves the previous axes limits
%     .Coordinates.CheckFixAspectRatio: =0 (default):automatic adjustment of the graph, keep 1 to 1 aspect ratio for x and y scales. 
%     .Coordinates.AspectRatio: imposed aspect ratio y/x of axis unit plots
%            --scalars--
%    .Scalar.MaxA: upper bound (saturation color) for the scalar representation, max(field) by default
%    .Scalar.MinA: lower bound (saturation) for the scalar representation, min(field) by default
%    .Scalar.CheckFixScal: =0 (default) lower and upper bounds of the scalar representation set to the min and max of the field
%               =1 lower and upper bound imposed by .AMax and .MinA
%    .Scalar.CheckBW= 1: black and white representation imposed, =0 color imposed (color scale or rgb),
%                   =[]: automatic (B/W for integer positive scalars, color  else)
%    .Scalar.CheckContours= 1: represent scalars by contour plots (Matlab function 'contour'); =0 by default
%    .IncrA : contour interval
%            -- vectors--
%    .Vectors.VecScale: scale for the vector representation
%    .Vectors.CheckFixVec: =0 (default) automatic length for vector representation, =1: length set by .VecScale
%    .Vectors.CheckHideFalse= 0 (default) false vectors represented in magenta, =1: false vectors not represented;
%    .Vectors.CheckHideWarning= 0 (default) vectors marked by warnflag~=0 marked in black, 1: no warning representation;
%    .Vectors.CheckDecimate4 = 0 (default) all vectors reprtesented, =1: half of  the vectors represented along each coordinate
%         -- vector color--
%    .Vectors.ColorCode= 'black','white': imposed color  (default ='blue')
%                        'rgb', : three colors red, blue, green depending
%                        on thresholds .colcode1 and .colcode2 on the input  scalar value (C)
%                        'brg': like rgb but reversed color order (blue, green, red)
%                        '64 colors': continuous color from blue to red (multijet)
%    .Vectors.colcode1 : first threshold for rgb, first value for'continuous' 
%    .Vectors.colcode2 : second threshold for rgb, last value (saturation) for 'continuous' 
%    .Vectors.CheckFixedCbounds;  =0 (default): the bounds on C representation are min and max, =1: they are fixed by .Minc and .MaxC
%    .Vectors.MinC = imposed minimum of the scalar field used for vector color;
%    .Vectors.MaxC = imposed maximum of the scalar field used for vector color;
%
% PosColorbar: if not empty, display a colorbar for B&W images
%               imposed position of the colorbar (ex [0.821 0.471 0.019 0.445])
